Probably because you have not SEEN that keyboard and mouse. I have bluetooth version of the same keyboard and mouse and these two pieces of hardware are slickest you can find.

^^ it costs f'ing 4k here and for that here's what I get:
And it maybe sleek but no, not at all worthy.
*www.microsoft.com/hardware/gaming/ProductDetails.aspx?pid=102&active_tab=systemRequirements
Switchable key pad
Flexible design, choose right side or left side configuration. Switch between standard key pad and macro pad in gaming mode.
Two-color adjustable backlighting dial
Keyboard keys are red, and key pad and Macro keys are amber in Game mode. Lighting dial adjusts the brightness of the keyboard and key pad.
Macro keys
Up to 30 programmable keys that can allow up to 90 programmable options with an assigned gaming profile.
Mode switching
Manually toggle the keyboard from standard mode to either of two gaming modes. LEDs show the selected mode.
Cruise Control
Use Cruise Control to continue an action without having to hold down the key or keys assigned to the action. You can use Cruise Control with up to four keys at a time.* (* Cruise Control does not work with programmable macro keys.)
In-game macro record button
Record any sequence of keystrokes—even standard chat messages. Macros are stored on your hard drive and can be easily shared.
Automatic profile switching
When a game or application profile is assigned using the software, the keyboard detects the game or application you are running and applies your custom profile to the application.
WASD gaming keys
Have front-face lighting for enhanced visibility.
Media keys
Play/Pause, Previous Track, Next Track, and Mute.

Never mind, I forgot about price factor which is everything for some... BTW, it's slick and unique. just for your reference:

And just because a product is expensive does not mean it's crap, stupid or sucks. Get rid of that idea unless you are 16..

Just because a product is 1mm thin doesn't mean that it's super product. Get rid of that idea unless you are 16 (months).

and yeah, forget about using coz my TVSE mechanical keyboard is a 1000 times better than this crap and ugly one.
Damn forgot that you are a fanboy. Okay. Okay. YOu wish. This is revolutionary, state-of-the-art, functionally unmatched keyboard that any company has ever produced.
Happy now?
PS: I haven't seen or used a Frontech and Tech-Com keyboards. They should be truly stunning products
That's all you can come up with..? Dude stop ranting if you cant afford it.
Else why would you post it on Tech news section? it's not even a news.

Use it once and I am quite sure that you will take back your words about this being ugly. As for the numpad, I don't miss it since I've almost never used it on desktop keyboards too. I find using the standard num keys quite snappy. But for those who are used to the numpad, this keyboard is definitely not for them. It sure will be perceived as a bad design in that case.

The Microsoft Sidewinder keyboard is a gaming keyboard centered to the requirment of the gamers out there. Its not that good when it comes to long typing sessions.
Your TVS Mechanical keyboard is more suited for typing purpose.
My Zebronics flat keyboard is good for day to day use with some typing.
Conclusion : Everyone has there own choice of keyboard.

Back!
looks nice enough..i've never wanted that huge number pad thing on the keyboard...always felt it unnecessarily increased the size of my keyboard [width wise]
Besides, number pad is more suitable for data entry stuff [like writing phone nos into excel sheet...(saw a lady do that when i'd given my bike for servicing)]
